Additional Information About Your Airbags How the Passenger Airbag Off Indicator Light Works PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF INDICATOR To reduce the chance of airbagcaused injuries, the system shuts off the passenger's front airbag when the total weight on the front passenger's seat is about 65 lbs (30 kg) or less. If no one is riding in the front passenger's seat, the airbag will be automatically shut off, but the indicator light will not come on. However, if the light comes on with no passenger in the front, or with an adult in the seat, there may be a problem with the advanced airbag system. Have the vehicle checked by the dealer as soon as possible. The Passenger Airbag Off indicator may also come on and off repeatedly if total weight on the seat is near the airbag cutoff threshold (65 lbs or 30 kg). If this happens, have the passenger ride properly restrained in a back seat. If the passenger must ride in front, move the seat as far to the rear as possible, have the passenger sit upright and wear the seat belt properly. This indicator may come on and off repeatedly if objects are placed on the front passenger's seat, or if the interior temperature of the vehicle changes suddenly when a door is opened. See page 26 for more information about the passenger's advanced front airbag. This light alerts you that the passenger's front airbag has been shut off. It does not mean there is a problem with the airbag. Driver and Passenger Safety 31
